4th InternatIonal Musculoskeletal ultrasound course BasIc and InterMedIate leVel

Athens, November 30th – December 2nd 2017

The 4th International ultrasound course for rheumatologists, taking place in athens, Greece in 2017, intends to be a combination of lectures and practical sessions. It is going to be a two-level course – the basic and the intermediate – consisting of theoretical talks and supervised hands-on scanning of healthy persons and/or patients with musculoskeletal disorders. sponsorship: ABBVIE, BRISTOL-MYERS SQUIBB, ENORASIS, GLAXOSMITHKLINE, GENESIS PHARMA, JANSSEN CILAG, MSD, NOVARTIS, PFIZER, ROCHE, UCB. The total amount of sponsorship will not exceed 40% of the total cost for the Course. General Electric, Papapostolou, Esaote, Toshiba, Dormed, Medworks will provide ultrasound equipment free of charge. Sponsorships will cover part of the travel and accommodation expenses for the faculty, course venue and organization costs. Sponsors will not have any influence on the course program, scientific and other content, or speakers in any way.

cMe creditsThe course will apply for EACCME/UEMS credits of continuing medical education.

registrationRegistration is intended to be open to all EULAR member countries. Participants registering for the basic MSUS course endorsed by EULAR will have priority if they have already participated in the EULAR Online Introductory US course.

Participation feesThe basic registration fee of 300 € includes admission to all conference sessions, workshops, conference kit, conference session materials, certificate of attendance. If accommodation (for two nights – single room) and coffee breaks and meals needed, the total course participation fee will be 750 €.
